Madison University - open mic night. In the summer the university has lots of events for the locals when the students are gone. This was a beautiful place to sit and relax at night.
Madison's capital building - it was designed by the same person who built D.C.'s capital building - that explains the striking resemblance

This was a LONG DAY!! I can't wait for these 7 days to be over, I'm exhausted! There were lots of hills in the beginning and end of the ride, they weren't that steep, but there were a lot of them! I stopped a lot today, my body is worn out and tired. We took a very roundabout way to get to our campground tonight. We bypassed the city of Madison, which was very unfortunate. I can't believe we rode here and didn't even get to go into the city. It is probably the most bike friendly city on our entire route, and a great city to check out and explore! Our campground was nice and Bob Dumke and Dan Scott's family provided a super dinner for us! There was tons of food and drink for everyone! The brats were amazing and they even had a Culver's ice cream cooler and served sundaes, along with lots of baked goods for dessert! It was a great meal. As exhausted as I was, I still was up for meeting up with a friend and getting to go check out Madison. Jamie Tall's (who I work with) twin brother lives in Madison now and he came and picked me up and showed me the city for a couple hours. What a nice city! It was so nice to see a familiar face from home too - thanks Chris, I had a great time!
